Sorry, not for me... Compass is out by 23 degrees and altimeter is showing an altitude of 0 feet when I'm sat at nearly 400 feet. It does have a nice clean layout though and the "turbulance" meters look very impressive. EDIT: Location was switched on, aircraft mode was switched off, and phone was given a thoroughly good shake to calibrate. All similar apps on my phone gave very accurate reports, this app doesn't. This app has a good layout but, imho, is unfit for purpose.
This app is fine for illustrating vibrations in 3D and inclination but otherwise it is of limited use. The compass is the same as any compass including the one built into android. In particular the direction of travel using the plane icon has the tail of the plane as the part pointing forward and East and West are swapped so East is West and West is East. Like the phone is face down. I had this app for a while and in the end uninstalled it. I wouldn't bother with it if you want my opinion.
Since the latest update with the F-ing Ads, the turbulance graphs don't all mid-line and/or the graphs don't midline when doing a refresh. Poor testing of an update prior to release.
It is a great app to have a backup point of view when you are flying.
It's perfect except for one thing, lack of the Dark mode
I took a flight for 4 Hrs and my altitude was 7 meters with no speed detection
Cannot run with GPS only location. Lame.
does not work on flight mode. not on the ground or in the plane.
I love it. app looks good and easy to work with
Very interesting to use it in plane, liked it to much
accurate and great fun.
didn't work in the plane,
clean and easy
way cool.this app is an exceptional one.
Like this very much. Useful and interesting app
altimeter not working
why does it need to know my location
told me I was flying at -7 meters
Love it.
Good app. Works well giving position and speed, and it's nice seeing ETA as well as.thr location when you don't have the infotainment system that some more modern planes have. My only complaint is the altitude reads ~100 feet less than what it's supposed to be. I have other GPS status apps that read my altitude correctly, but for some reason this app shows the 100ft difference.
